Ada Da Silva
b. Cuba
The Feminism Series explores the space between pressure and liberation. Through elongated bronze figures caught in moments of tension, movement, and release, Ada Da Silva gives physical form to the emotional weight carried by women as they navigate constraint, silence, and transformation.
In works such as Sails and Exhale, the body becomes both symbol and force. One figure appears to move against a turbulent current, resisting the external forces that attempt to hold her back. Another captures the intimate moment of release, where breath becomes voice and vulnerability becomes power.
Together, the series reflects on resilience, self-possession, and the act of reclaiming one’s own space.
